TI  - Antibodies to rabies virus in terrestrial wild mammals in native rainforest on 
      the north coast of Sao Paulo State, Brazil.

AB  - Rabies causes thousands of human and animal deaths worldwide each year. The 
      emergent importance of rabies in wild animals demonstrates the necessity of 
      epidemiologic studies of infection in these species toward the development of 
      better strategies for prevention and control of rabies. We analyzed the 
      circulation of rabies virus among wildlife species from a native rainforest in 
      Sao Paulo State, Brazil. We used the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test 
      (RFFIT) to test for rabies virus-neutralizing antibodies in 139 captured 
      terrestrial mammals and the fluorescent antibody test (FAT), mouse inoculation 
      test (MIT), and reverse-transcriptase (RT)-PCR to test for virus in samples from 
      the central nervous system of 53 animals found dead. The percentage of samples 
      positive by RFFIT was 10.8%. All samples tested by FAT, MIT, and RT-PCR were 
      negative. Research should be continued to obtain a better understanding of the 
      role of wildlife in the circulation and transmission of rabies virus.
